Convert PDF for the Kobo Aura ONE
PDF is a fixed-layout document, so pages must be re-rendered for an e-ink screen. The Kobo Aura ONE has a 1404 × 1872 screen, and PDF files that were not built for it read badly: pages rescaled on the fly, spreads split wrong, contrast off. MangaConverter re-renders every page for the Kobo Aura ONE's exact resolution, so nothing is resized on the device.
